Well at Camp Atterbury, I was tasked with making a fire trail wider. Needless to say, this trail was two ruts when we started. I moved in with a Case 1150E and two CAT 287"s with the govies package added. Well, two days into the project, it rained. We were using reclaimed blacktop as a filler and as a finisher. BUT, before that, we needed to level the area :eek:. My LT, being only a couple months in the fleet as a true ENG officer, decided this MTL with a compactor attachment would be a great idea. Here is a pic that says other wise. I used the winch on the 1150 to pull it out. Man, what a nightmare. Enjoy....

Regards,
Sgt G:usa
